Overtopping during Friday’s stormy weather caused damage to Douglas promenade walkway, resulting in large sections of the surface being lifted and destroyed.
Department of Infrastructure staff will remove the remainder of the surface early this week to allow the damaged section between Regent Street and the Bottleneck car park to be assessed, and plans can then be made to resurface. The area remains closed to pedestrians while the clear up operation takes place.
Assessments will be made during low tide to check the extent of any damage to the sea wall and railings. A section of railings near to the War Memorial damaged by waves has been made safe and repairs will be undertaken as soon as possible.
Mooragh Promenade in Ramsey also sustained damage on Friday. Engineers are today assessing the extent of it and timescales involved in repair works.
